Saddle Up and Read!
Our Scholastic Wild West Book Fair will be held from 9/8-9/19. Your child will be able to shop during their assigned library times, during the Back to School Bash, and parents can shop at Back to School Night. You may also visit the book fair online.
If you are able to help with the Book fair, please visit this Sign-Up Genius.
**Students and faculty will be raising money for those in need and for classroom libraries from 9/6-9/18. Please send in any loose change you have to support ALL for Books. The classes that raise $50.00 or more will win a PJ day!
